It's Official - Lauri Markkanen is the NBA's Most Improved Player

It was 2am in Finland, but Lauri looked great. He said he was really excited about this award. Said he puts in long days (10-12) for the training. He felt like the difference in this year from prior years was his confidence from EuroBasket, and then being put in a position where he was told to do just what he did in EuroBasket. He said it was a really fun season in Utah and he was grateful for his coaches and team. Said he still needs to work on his locker room leadership role but felt good about what he's done so far.
Days are long in Finnish defensive forces i assure that.
I still remember my recruit time in Finnish defensive forces and damn what a hurry and tight schedule we had every freaking day.
All that was 19 years ago for me but if it would be possible i would do that again in a heartbeat and without any hesitation because it was goddamn fun to be into army.
 
Lauri became first Utah Jazz player who's won MIP award.
How's that so didn't Malone and Stockton ever won significant NBA awards?
I know Michael Jordan dominated most votings and won everything but did Malone and Stockton even won MVP award once?

Ya Malone won MVP. Never MIP though. Lauri is the only jazz player to win that award
